Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of humidifier technology, and in particular to a humidifier and a humidifier control method, device, computer equipment, storage medium and computer program product. Background Technology
[0002] Current ultrasonic humidifiers work by using atomizing plates to break water into nano-sized particles through high-frequency vibration, and then using a fan to blow the broken water into the air to achieve humidification. Therefore, in humidification mode, the atomizing plates are prone to overheating due to high-frequency vibration, which can lead to high-temperature damage.
[0003] In traditional technology, a water level detection device is usually installed to prevent the atomizing plate from being damaged by high temperatures. This prevents the atomizing plate from being unable to dissipate heat in time due to low water level, which could lead to high-temperature damage. However, this method cannot accurately determine whether the atomizing plate has successfully dissipated heat or is at its normal operating temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Fourthly, this application also provides a computer device. The computer device includes a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program, and the processor executing the computer program to perform the following steps:
[0020] In humidification mode, when the water level in the water tank of the humidifier reaches the first water level, the first temperature of the atomizing plate in the working state is obtained by the temperature acquisition device of the atomizing plate set in the sealed space.

In humidification mode, when the water level in the water tank of the humidifier reaches the first water level, the first temperature of the atomizing element in its working state can be accurately obtained by a temperature acquisition device of the atomizing element installed in the sealed space. Based on the first temperature, it is determined whether the atomizing element has successfully dissipated heat and whether it is at its normal operating temperature. If the first temperature is within the first temperature range, the atomizing element is kept in working state. When the water level drops from the first water level to the second water level, the second temperature of the atomizing element can also be accurately obtained by a temperature acquisition device of the atomizing element. Then, based on the accurately obtained second temperature, it is determined whether the atomizing element has successfully dissipated heat and whether it is at its normal operating temperature. If the second temperature is within the second temperature range, the atomizing element is kept in working state, and water is controlled to be added to the water tank to the first water level. Thus, when it is accurately determined that the atomizing element has successfully dissipated heat and is at its normal operating temperature, the atomizing element in the humidifier can be controlled to continue operating in humidification mode.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, a schematic diagram of a humidifier is provided, including: an atomizing plate 101, an atomizing plate 102, an atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103, a sealing component 104, a water tank 105, a water reservoir 106, a water inlet 107, a water control valve 108, a heating device 109, a mist outlet channel 110, a mist outlet valve 111, a sterilization temperature acquisition device 112, a water level detection device 113, a fan 114, a display circuit module 115, and a main control module 116.
[0049] The atomizing plate 101 disperses water into nano-sized particles through high-frequency vibration. Its material can be flexibly selected according to different water qualities and intended uses. During operation, the atomizing plate 101 typically needs to be in contact with water for timely heat dissipation. The atomizing plate 102's material can be flexibly selected according to actual needs to form a sealed space with the atomizing plate 101 without affecting the temperature acquisition of the atomizing plate 101 by the temperature acquisition device 103. Specifically, the temperature acquisition device 103 can be a temperature acquisition device based on an NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor. The sealing component 104 can be a sealing ring that provides a sealing function, specifically made of rubber.
[0050] Both the water tank 105 and the water container 106 are water storage devices within the humidifier, and the bottom of the water container 106 is provided with a water inlet 107 to fill the water tank 105 with water. The water tank 105 consists of two spaces, and a water control valve 108 is used to control the flow of water between the two spaces in the water tank 105.
[0051] The heating device 109 includes, but is not limited to, various components that can be controlled to achieve a heating function. The mist outlet valve 111 on the mist outlet channel 110 is a dual-purpose valve, which can be used to connect the water tank 105 to the outside environment or to connect the water tank 105 to the water container 106. Different connection methods correspond to different opening states of the mist outlet valve 111. The sterilization temperature acquisition device 112 can specifically be a temperature acquisition device based on an NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor. The water level detection device 113 includes, but is not limited to, various components that can detect the water level in the water tank 105. The fan 114 is used to disperse the water atomized by the atomizing plate 101. The display circuit module 115 is used to display the working status of the atomizing plate 101, such as whether a malfunction has occurred. The main control module 116 also includes a power board to provide power. The main control module 116 can be a control module built based on an MCU (Microcontroller Unit) chip, used to control various components in the humidifier, including but not limited to: controlling the operating power of the atomizing plate 101; connecting to the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103 and the sterilization temperature acquisition device 112 to determine the working temperature of the atomizing plate 101, or the temperature of the water vapor generated in the sterilization mode; controlling the water injection rate of the water inlet 107; controlling the opening state of the mist outlet valve 111; controlling the operation of the fan 114; and controlling the display circuit module 115 to display the working status of the atomizing plate 101.
[0052] Based on this, in one embodiment, a humidifier is provided, the humidifier comprising:
[0053] Atomizing plate 101 is used to atomize the water in the humidifier in humidification mode;
[0054] Atomizing plate 102 is fitted with atomizing sheet temperature acquisition device 103; a sealed space is formed between atomizing sheet 101 and atomizing plate 102; atomizing sheet temperature acquisition device 103 is located in the sealed space and is used to acquire the temperature of atomizing sheet 101 in humidification mode.
[0055] In this application, the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103 can be mounted on the atomizing plate 102 to ensure that it will not fall off when the atomizing plate 101 vibrates at high frequency. The specific mounting method is not limited in this application. The sealed space is a well-sealed space to ensure that the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103 can accurately acquire the operating temperature of the atomizing plate 101. It is understood that to ensure the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103 can accurately acquire the operating temperature of the atomizing plate 101, the sealed space should not be too large.
[0056] Optionally, the main control module 116 can be connected to the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103 to obtain the real-time temperature of the atomizing plate 101, such as the real-time temperature of the atomizing plate 101 during the operation of the atomizing plate 101 in humidification mode.
[0057] The humidifier described above includes an atomizing plate 101 for atomizing water in the humidifier in humidification mode, and an atomizing plate 102 on which an atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103 is attached. A sealed space is formed between the atomizing plate 101 and the atomizing plate 102. The atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103 is located in the sealed space and is used to collect the temperature of the atomizing plate 101 in humidification mode. Therefore, the temperature of the atomizing plate 101 can be directly and accurately collected by the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103 located in the sealed space. Thus, it is possible to accurately determine whether the atomizing plate 101 has successfully dissipated heat and whether it is at a normal operating temperature.
[0058] In one embodiment, the atomizing plate 101 and the atomizing plate 102 are connected by a sealing component 104 to form a sealed space, which can ensure good sealing of the sealed space and facilitate the accurate acquisition of the temperature of the atomizing plate 101 by the temperature acquisition device 103.
[0059] When the atomizing plate 101 and the atomizing plate 102 are connected by the sealing component 104 to form a closed space, the sealing component 104 is in a compressed state so that the closed space has good sealing performance.
[0060] Optionally, the atomizing plate 101 can be pressed and fixed onto the atomizing plate 102 using fasteners. Since the atomizing plate 101 is provided with a sealing component 104, a sealed space can be formed by compressing the sealing component 104 through the atomizing plate 102. The fasteners include, but are not limited to, bolts, studs, screws, nuts, self-tapping screws, wood screws, washers, retaining rings, pins, rivets, assemblies, welding studs, etc., as long as they can press and fix the atomizing plate 101 onto the atomizing plate 102.
[0061] In this embodiment, the atomizing sheet 101 and the atomizing plate 102 are connected by a sealing component 104 to form a sealed space.
[0062] In one embodiment, one side of the atomizing plate 101 is in contact with water in the water tank 105 of the humidifier, and the other side of the atomizing plate 101 forms a sealed space.
[0063] Optionally, one side of the atomizing plate 101 contacts the water in the water tank 105 of the humidifier for atomizing the water in the water tank 105, while the other side of the atomizing plate 101 is used to form a sealed space. To ensure accurate temperature measurement of the atomizing plate 101, it is necessary to ensure that as much area as possible of the atomizing plate 101 is used to form a sealed space; therefore, the area of the atomizing plate 102 needs to be greater than or equal to the area of the atomizing plate 101.
[0064] In this embodiment, a sealed space is constructed based on the side of the atomizing plate 101 that does not come into contact with water, which allows the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device 103 to accurately acquire the temperature of the atomizing plate 101.
[0065] In one embodiment, the humidifier includes a water tank 105 and a water reservoir 106. The water tank 105 includes a first space and a second space, and the water reservoir 106 fills water into the first space through a water inlet 107.
[0066] Humidifiers also include:
[0067] Water control valve 108 is used to control the flow of water between the first space and the second space; in humidification mode, water control valve 108 is in the open state; in sterilization mode, water control valve 108 is in the closed state.
[0068] Heating device 109 is used to heat the water in the first space in sterilization mode.
[0069] The heating element 109 is located on the same side as the first space and the water inlet 107, and the atomizing plate 101 is located on the same side as the second space. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the heating device 109 is located on the outer side wall of the bottom of the first space to heat the water in the first space. However, the heating device 109 can also be located on the inner side wall of the bottom of the first space and / or the side of the first space. That is, the number and distribution of the heating devices 109 can be flexibly configured according to actual heating needs. This application does not limit the specific number or location of the heating devices 109. Figure 1 The heating device 109 shown is for illustrative purposes only.
[0070] The first space is also equipped with a water level detection device 113. In humidification mode, since the water in the first space and the second space is in a circulating state, the water level of the entire water tank 105 can be measured. In sterilization mode, since the water in the first space and the second space is isolated, the water level in the first space can be measured.
[0071] Optionally, in humidification mode, the main control module 116 can control the water control valve 108 to be open, allowing water to circulate between the first and second spaces in the water tank 105, and can also determine the water level in the water tank 105 using the water level detection device 113. In sterilization mode, the main control module 116 can control the water control valve 108 to be closed, isolating water from the first and second spaces, and can also determine the water level in the first space using the water level detection device 113.
[0072] For example, in humidification mode, the main control module 116 can control the atomizing plate 101 to vibrate at high frequency, so that the water in the second space is converted into water mist. At this time, since the water control valve 108 is in the open state, when the main control module 116 controls the water inlet 107 to inject water into the first space in the water tank 105, water will also be added to the second space.
[0073] For example, in sterilization mode, the main control module 116 can control the heating device 109 to heat the water in the first space, so that the water in the first space is converted into high temperature water vapor. At this time, since the water control valve 108 is open and closed, the main control module 116 only needs to control the water inlet 107 to inject water into the first space in the water tank 105.
[0074] In this embodiment, the water in the water tank 105 can be isolated by the water control valve 108, so that in the sterilization mode, the heating device 109 only needs to heat a small amount of water in the first space, instead of heating the water in the entire water tank 105. This can reduce the volume of heated water and achieve sterilization with low power consumption and low cost.
[0075] In one embodiment, the humidifier further includes:
[0076] A mist outlet channel 110 is connected to the water tank 105 of the humidifier, and a mist outlet valve 111 is provided on the mist outlet channel 110;
[0077] In humidification mode, the mist valve 111 is used to connect the water tank 105 to the outside; in sterilization mode, the mist valve 111 is used to connect the water tank 105 to the inside of the water tank 106.
[0078] Inside the water tank 106, and above the horizontal plane of the water tank 106, there is gas. This area containing air is connected to the mist valve 111 so that high-temperature water vapor in the sterilization mode can enter the water tank 106 through the mist valve 111 to sterilize the interior of the water tank 106 at high temperature.
[0079] Optionally, in humidification mode, the main control module 116 can adjust the opening direction of the mist outlet valve 111 to ensure that the water tank 105, the mist outlet channel 110, and the outside environment are in a connected state. In sterilization mode, the main control module 116 can adjust the opening direction of the mist outlet valve 111 to ensure that the water tank 105, the mist outlet channel 110, and the water tank 106 are in a connected state.
[0080] For example, in humidification mode, the water in the second space of the water tank 105 is atomized by the atomizing plate 101 and diffused from the second space of the water tank 105 to the mist outlet channel 110 under the action of the fan 114. Then, it enters the outside air through the mist outlet valve 111 provided on the mist outlet channel 110 to achieve the humidification function.
[0081] For example, in sterilization mode, the water in the first space of the water tank 105 is heated by the heating device 109 and converted into water vapor, which diffuses to the mist outlet channel 110 and then enters the water tank 106 through the mist outlet valve 111 provided on the mist outlet channel 110, so as to achieve high-temperature sterilization of the water tank 105 and the water tank 106.
[0082] In this embodiment, the mist outlet valve 106 with two opening directions can flexibly change the connection state between the water tank 105 and the outside world, as well as between the water tank 105 and the water container 106. In humidification mode, the water mist generated in the humidifier can diffuse to the outside world, and in sterilization mode, the high-temperature water vapor generated in the humidifier can diffuse into the water container 106. Thus, in sterilization mode, the water tank 105 and the water container 106 are sterilized together at high temperature, which can ensure the comprehensiveness of the sterilization area.
[0083] In one embodiment, the humidifier further includes:
[0084] The sterilization temperature acquisition device 112 is installed on the mist outlet channel 110. The sterilization temperature acquisition device 112 is used to collect the temperature of the water vapor generated by heating inside the humidifier.
[0085] The sterilization temperature acquisition device 112 is located on the inner wall of the mist outlet channel 110 and below the mist outlet valve 111, so as to collect the temperature of the water vapor in the mist outlet channel 110. It is understood that, to ensure that the temperature of the water vapor diffusing into the water tank 106 also meets the sterilization temperature standard, the sterilization temperature acquisition device 112 is positioned close to the mist outlet valve 111 so as to collect the temperature of the water vapor entering the water tank 106 through the mist outlet valve 111.
[0086] Optionally, the main control module 116 can be connected to the sterilization temperature acquisition device 112 to obtain the temperature of the water vapor generated by heating in the humidifier, ensuring that the temperature of the water vapor diffused in the water tank 105 and the water tank 106 reaches the standard of sterilization temperature.
[0087] In this embodiment, the temperature of water vapor diffused in the water tank 105 and water tank 106 can be detected by the sterilization temperature acquisition device 112, thereby ensuring that the sterilization temperature in the sterilization mode can reach the standard sterilization temperature, ensuring the effectiveness of the sterilization mode, and reducing the growth of bacteria in the humidifier.
[0088] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a humidifier control method is provided. In this method, a sealed space is formed between the atomizing fin and the atomizing plate in the humidifier. Furthermore, this method is applied to... Figure 1 Taking the main control module as an example, the explanation includes the following steps:
[0089] Step 202: The main control module can respond to the user's selected operation command and start the humidification mode.
[0090] Optionally, the main control module can communicate with a user terminal to activate the humidification mode in response to a command sent by the user terminal, or in response to a user's activation of the interactive button representing "activation of humidification mode". Specifically, the user terminal is a user terminal that has been successfully paired with the humidifier, and the interactive button can be a button located on the humidifier's outer casing.
[0091] The main control module responds to operation commands in ways including, but not limited to, the two methods mentioned above, and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0092] Furthermore, the main control module can connect to the water level detection module in the humidifier to determine whether the water level in the water tank has reached the first water level. If it has not reached the first water level, step 204 is executed to control the injection of water into the water tank until the water level in the tank reaches the first water level. If the first water level has been reached, step 206 is executed. Here, the first water level represents the full water level when the atomizing plate is working.
[0093] Step 206: Obtain the first temperature of the atomizing plate in its working state by using a temperature acquisition device for the atomizing plate set in a sealed space.
[0094] Optionally, in humidification mode, when the water level in the humidifier's water tank reaches the first water level, the main control module can obtain the first temperature of the atomizing plate during operation by connecting to a temperature acquisition device for the atomizing plate, which is installed in a sealed space. The main control module can be electrically or communicatively connected to the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device; the specific connection method can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on it.
[0095] Furthermore, the main control module can determine whether the first temperature is within the first temperature range to determine whether the atomizing element is at its normal operating temperature when the water level is at the first water level. If the first temperature is not within the first temperature range, the main control module will execute step 208, and the control circuit display module will display a warning message indicating a fault in the atomizing element. If the first temperature is within the first temperature range, then step 210 will be executed. The first temperature range represents the temperature range in which the atomizing element is located when the water level in the tank is at the first water level and no fault has occurred.
[0096] Step 210: Keep the atomizing plate in working condition.
[0097] Optionally, if the first temperature is within the first temperature range, the main control module will determine that the operating temperature of the atomizing plate is normal, that is, that the atomizing plate has successfully dissipated heat and is at the normal operating temperature, and therefore, keep the atomizing plate in the working state.
[0098] Furthermore, while the atomizing plate remains operational, the main control module can connect to a water level detection device to determine the real-time water level in the tank and whether the water level has dropped to the second water level. If the water level has not dropped to the second water level, step 210 continues to be executed, keeping the atomizing plate operational. If the water level has dropped to the second water level, step 212 is executed. The second water level represents the water shortage level when the atomizing plate is operational.
[0099] Step 212: Obtain the second temperature of the atomizing plate using the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device.
[0100] Optionally, when the water level drops from the first water level to the second water level, the main control module can obtain the second temperature of the atomizing sheet by connecting to the temperature acquisition device of the atomizing sheet set in the sealed space.
[0101] Furthermore, the main control module can determine whether the second temperature is within the second temperature range to determine whether the atomizing element is at its normal operating temperature when the water level is the second level. If the second temperature is not within the second temperature range, the main control module will execute step 208, and the control circuit display module will display a warning message indicating a fault in the atomizing element. If the second temperature is within the second temperature range, it is determined that the atomizing element is at its normal operating temperature when the water level is the second level, confirming that the atomizing element has successfully dissipated heat and is at its normal operating temperature. Therefore, step 214 is executed to keep the atomizing element in working condition, and the process returns to step 204 to control the filling of water into the tank to the first water level.
[0102] In the aforementioned humidifier control method, a sealed space is formed between the atomizing plate and the atomizing element in the humidifier. In humidification mode, when the water level in the water tank of the humidifier reaches the first water level, the first temperature of the atomizing element in its working state can be accurately obtained by a temperature sensing device installed in the sealed space. Based on the first temperature, it is determined whether the atomizing element has successfully dissipated heat and whether it is at its normal operating temperature. If the first temperature is within the first temperature range, the atomizing element remains in working state. When the water level drops from the first water level to the second water level, the second temperature of the atomizing element can also be accurately obtained by a temperature sensing device. Then, based on the accurately obtained second temperature, it is determined whether the atomizing element has successfully dissipated heat and whether it is at its normal operating temperature. If the second temperature is within the second temperature range, the atomizing element remains in working state, and water is added to the water tank to the first water level. Thus, when it is accurately determined that the atomizing element has successfully dissipated heat and is at its normal operating temperature, the atomizing element in the humidifier can be controlled to continue operating in humidification mode.
[0103] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0104] During the process of controlling the injection of water from the water tank into the water trough, the total injection time is timed.
[0105] If the total water filling time exceeds the water filling time threshold, an early warning will be issued indicating that the water tank is low on water; the water filling time threshold is positively correlated with the maximum water storage capacity of the water tank.
[0106] Optionally, when the humidifier is turned on, the main control module can first determine the maximum water storage capacity of the water tank, and then determine the water filling time threshold based on the correspondence between the maximum water storage capacity and the water filling time threshold. During the process of controlling the water filling from the water tank into the water reservoir, the main control module can time the total water filling time. If the total water filling time exceeds the water filling time threshold, the control circuit display module will issue a warning prompt that the water tank is low.
[0107] For example, the main control module can also send a warning message about water shortage to the terminal that has been successfully paired with the humidifier.
[0108] In this embodiment, the total water filling time can be timed to provide timely warnings of water shortage in the water tank, preventing the atomizing plate from working (dry burning) in a water-deficient environment and protecting the atomizing plate in a timely manner.
[0109] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0110] The running time of the atomizing plate is timed each time the water level drops from the first water level to the second water level;
[0111] If the runtime exceeds the runtime threshold, increment the count once to obtain the accumulated count result.
[0112] If the accumulated count reaches the count threshold, an early warning message will be issued indicating that the water tank is low on water.
[0113] The runtime also represents the time required to drain water from the first level to the second level in the tank. When the atomizing plate is working, the water inlet continuously fills the tank at a constant rate. For each cycle in which the water level drops from the first to the second level, if the runtime of the atomizing plate is too long (exceeding the runtime threshold), it indicates that the water filling time for that cycle is also too long, and that the water consumption in that cycle is excessive. It can be understood that if the excessive water consumption occurs too frequently, i.e., the accumulated count reaches the threshold, it can easily lead to water shortage in the tank.
[0114] The runtime threshold can be determined through prior testing of the humidifier. The counting result threshold can be flexibly configured according to the actual application scenario, such as the water tank model, the maximum water storage capacity of the water tank, and the water injection speed of the water inlet.
[0115] Optionally, the main control module can connect to the atomizing plate and time the running time of the atomizing plate each time the water level drops from the first water level to the second water level. If the running time of the atomizing plate exceeds the running time threshold during a certain drop from the first water level to the second water level, the count is incremented once to obtain the accumulated count result. If the accumulated count result reaches the count result threshold, an early warning prompt of water tank shortage is issued.
[0116] For example, after the humidifier is turned on, when the water level first reaches the first water level, the main control module will initialize (clear) the stored accumulated count result and re-accumulate the count result.
[0117] In this embodiment, by timing the working time of the atomizing plate during the process of the water level dropping from the first water level to the second water level, that is, the water filling time of each round, the water consumption in the water tank can be monitored in a timely manner, avoiding the water supply being untimely due to water shortage in the water tank, which would cause the atomizing plate to work in a water shortage state, and thus protecting the atomizing plate in a timely manner.
[0118] In one embodiment, the process of determining the runtime threshold includes:
[0119] Multiple data collections were conducted to determine the time required for the water level to drop from the first water level to the second water level while the atomizing plate was operating in the minimum power mode.
[0120] The longest water level drop time is used as the runtime threshold.
[0121] The number of times the water level drops can be collected can be flexibly configured according to the actual application scenario.
[0122] Optionally, the main control module can collect the water level drop time required for the water level to drop from the first water level to the second water level during the operation of the atomizing plate in the minimum power mode multiple times, and use the longest water level drop time as the running time threshold.
[0123] It is understandable that when the atomizing plate operates in the minimum power mode, the water level drops slowly from the first level to the second level, meaning the water filling time is longer. Therefore, in this embodiment, the longest water level drop time in the minimum power mode is used as the running time threshold. If, during a certain process of the water level dropping from the first level to the second level, the running time of the atomizing plate exceeds the running time threshold, it can be clearly indicated that the water filling time for that round is too long, i.e., the water consumption is too high. Thus, by accumulating the number of times the running time exceeds the running time threshold, the water consumption in the water tank can be monitored in a timely manner.
[0124] In one embodiment, the process of determining the first temperature range and the second temperature range includes:
[0125] The maximum temperature of the atomizing plate when it reaches the first water level and the maximum temperature when it reaches the second water level are obtained in the maximum power mode.
[0126] Obtain the first minimum temperature when the atomizing plate reaches the first water level and the second minimum temperature when it reaches the second water level in the minimum power mode;
[0127] The first temperature range is determined based on the first maximum temperature and the first minimum temperature.
[0128] The second temperature range is determined based on the second maximum and second minimum temperatures.
[0129] Optionally, the main control module can repeatedly collect the maximum power operation data of the atomizing plate when running in the maximum power mode and the minimum power operation data when running in the minimum power mode. Based on the maximum power operation data, it can obtain the first maximum temperature value when the atomizing plate reaches the first water level and the second maximum temperature value when it reaches the second water level in the maximum power mode. Based on the minimum power operation data, it can obtain the first minimum temperature value when the atomizing plate reaches the first water level and the second minimum temperature value when it reaches the second water level in the minimum power mode. Based on the first maximum temperature value and the first minimum temperature value, it can determine the first temperature range and the second temperature range based on the second maximum temperature value and the second minimum temperature value.
[0130] For example, such as Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a process for collecting maximum power operating data, which mainly includes the following steps:
[0131] Step 302: In response to the power-on command, enter standby mode;
[0132] Step 304: If the water level in the tank does not meet the data collection requirements, issue a warning that the tank is low on water.
[0133] Step 306: If the water level in the water tank reaches the data acquisition requirement, start the humidification mode, control the connection between the water tank and the outside world, and open the water control valve;
[0134] Step 308: If the water level in the tank has not reached the first water level, control the water to be added to the tank and time the total water filling time; if the total water filling time exceeds the water filling time threshold, return to step 304 and issue a warning that the water tank is low on water.
[0135] Step 310: If the water level in the tank reaches the first water level, control the atomizing plate to operate in the maximum power mode, collect the first temperature of the atomizing plate, and time the running time of the atomizing plate in this round.
[0136] Step 312: If the water level in the tank drops to the second water level, collect the second temperature of the atomizing plate and obtain the running time. Then, return to step 308, control the water to be injected into the tank, and continue to time the total water injection time. If the water level in the tank does not drop to the second water level, return to step 310 and continue to control the atomizing plate to operate in the maximum power mode.
[0137] Optionally, the main control module can be based on Figure 3The flowchart shown illustrates the process of repeatedly collecting maximum power operating data of the atomizing plate when operating in maximum power mode. This maximum power operating data includes, but is not limited to: the operating time of the atomizing plate during each drop in water level from the first level to the second level; the first temperature of the atomizing plate each time the water level reaches the first level; and the second temperature of the atomizing plate each time the water level reaches the second level. Therefore, the main control module can determine the maximum first temperature and the maximum second temperature of the atomizing plate when reaching the first water level in maximum power mode, based on the repeatedly collected first and second temperatures.
[0138] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, a flowchart illustrating the process of collecting minimum power operating data is provided. Figure 4 In the middle, the maximum power mode is changed to the minimum power mode. For specific limitations, please refer to the section above. Figure 3 The specific process limitations are not detailed here. It should be noted that the minimum power operating data includes, but is not limited to: the operating time of the atomizing plate during each drop in water level from the first to the second level; the first temperature of the atomizing plate each time the water level reaches the first level; and the second temperature of the atomizing plate each time the water level reaches the second level. Therefore, the main control module can use the longest water level drop time (the required water level drop time) collected multiple times under the minimum power mode as the threshold for the operating time of the atomizing plate. The main control module can also determine the minimum first temperature and the minimum second temperature of the atomizing plate when reaching the first and second water levels under the minimum power mode, based on the first and second temperatures collected multiple times under the minimum power mode.
[0139] In this embodiment, by collecting the operating data of the atomizing plate in different modes, the temperature range to which the atomizing plate is normally operating under different water levels can be accurately and comprehensively constructed, so that it can be determined whether the atomizing plate is operating at the normal temperature under different water levels.
[0140] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0141] In humidification mode, the water control valve of the humidifier is opened to connect the first space and the second space in the water tank of the humidifier; water is then injected into the first space through the water inlet of the humidifier.
[0142] The humidifier's mist outlet valve controls the connection between the water tank and the outside world; under the atomizing effect of the atomizing plate, the water mist generated in the second space enters the outside world from the water tank.
[0143] Optionally, in humidification mode, the main control module can control the humidifier's water control valve to open, thereby connecting the first space and the second space in the humidifier's water tank, and control the humidifier's water inlet to inject water into the first space. At this time, the injected water flows from the first space into the second space. Furthermore, the main control module can also control the water tank to connect with the outside environment via the humidifier's mist outlet valve, allowing the water mist generated by the atomization effect of the atomizing plate to enter the outside environment from the second space of the water tank.
[0144] In this embodiment, the opening direction of the mist outlet valve can be controlled to allow the water mist generated in the humidification mode to enter the outside environment, thereby achieving the humidification function.
[0145] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0146] In sterilization mode, the water control valve of the humidifier is closed to isolate the first space and the second space in the water tank of the humidifier.
[0147] When the water level in the tank reaches the third level, the heating device is activated to heat the water in the first space; the third level is lower than the second level.
[0148] Optionally, in sterilization mode, the main control module can control the humidifier's water control valve to close, thus isolating the first space and the second space in the humidifier's water tank. It can also control the humidifier's water inlet to fill the first space and determine the water level in the first space using a water level detection device. When the water level in the first space reaches the third water level, the main control module can activate the heating device to heat the water in the first space.
[0149] In this embodiment, by closing the water control valve and heating the water in the first space when the water level reaches the third level, a small amount of water can be heated to quickly generate high-temperature water vapor, which can achieve sterilization with low power consumption and low cost.
[0150] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0151] The humidifier's mist outlet valve controls the connection between the water tank and the water trough, allowing water vapor generated in the first space to enter the water tank from the water tank under the heating effect of the heating device.
[0152] Optionally, in sterilization mode, the main control module can adjust the opening direction of the humidifier's mist outlet valve to control the connection between the water tank and the water container through the mist outlet valve of the humidifier. This allows water vapor generated in the first space to enter the mist outlet channel from the water tank under the heating action of the heating device, and then enter the water container from the mist outlet valve set on the mist outlet channel.
[0153] In this embodiment, by flexibly changing the opening direction of the mist valve, high-temperature water vapor can enter the water tank, thereby achieving simultaneous sterilization of the water tank and the water trough, making the sterilization area more comprehensive.
[0154] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0155] The temperature of the heated water vapor is obtained by a sterilization temperature acquisition device installed on the mist outlet channel of the humidifier;
[0156] When the temperature of the water vapor exceeds the temperature threshold, the sterilization time is timed.
[0157] When the sterilization time reaches the preset sterilization time, the heating device is turned off;
[0158] The humidifier's mist outlet valve controls the connection between the water tank and the outside environment, allowing water vapor to enter the outside from the water tank.
[0159] The temperature threshold and preset sterilization time can be flexibly configured according to actual sterilization needs.
[0160] Optionally, the main control module can acquire the temperature of the heated water vapor generated in the mist outlet channel by connecting to a sterilization temperature acquisition device installed on the mist outlet channel of the humidifier. When the temperature of the water vapor exceeds the temperature threshold, it is determined that the water vapor temperature has reached the standard sterilization temperature, and the sterilization time is timed. When the sterilization time reaches the preset sterilization time, the heating device is turned off, and the opening direction of the mist outlet valve in the humidifier is adjusted. Through the mist outlet valve of the humidifier, the water tank is connected to the outside, so that water vapor can enter the outside from the water tank.
[0161] In this embodiment, the sterilization temperature acquisition device can determine whether the standard sterilization temperature has been reached, and the preset sterilization time can ensure an effective sterilization time, thus fully guaranteeing the sterilization effect on the water tank and water vessel.
[0162] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 The diagram shows a flowchart of a humidifier humidification mode control method, which mainly includes the following steps:
[0163] Step 502: In response to the command to start the humidification mode, control the water control valve to open and control the water tank to connect with the outside;
[0164] Step 504: If the water level in the tank does not reach the first water level, control the injection of water into the tank;
[0165] Step 506: If the water level in the tank reaches the first water level, obtain the first temperature of the atomizing plate, and start timing the running time of the atomizing plate in this round from zero.
[0166] Step 508: If the first temperature is not within the first temperature range, issue a warning indicating a fault in the atomizing plate.
[0167] Step 510: If the first temperature is within the first temperature range, keep the atomizing plate in working state;
[0168] Step 512: If the water level in the tank drops to the second water level, collect the second temperature of the atomizing plate and obtain the running time of the atomizing plate in this round; otherwise, return to step 510 and keep the atomizing plate in working state; if the second temperature is not in the second temperature range, return to step 508 and issue a warning indicating a fault in the atomizing plate; if the second temperature is in the second temperature range, determine whether the running time of the atomizing plate in this round exceeds the running time threshold.
[0169] Step 514: If the running time of the atomizing plate in this round exceeds the running time threshold, increment the count by one.
[0170] Step 516: If the cumulative count result exceeds the cumulative count threshold, issue a warning that the water tank is low on water; otherwise, return to step 504 and control the filling of water into the water tank.
[0171] Among them, Figure 5 In the humidification mode control method shown, the total water filling time is also timed (not shown in the figure). If the total water filling time exceeds the water filling time threshold, the process returns to step 516 and issues a warning that the water tank is low on water.
[0172] In another embodiment, such as Figure 6 The diagram shows a flowchart of a method for controlling the sterilization mode of a humidifier, which mainly includes the following steps:
[0173] Step 602: In response to the command to start the sterilization mode, control the water control valve to close and control the connection between the water tank and the water container;
[0174] Step 604: If the water level in the tank has not reached the third water level, control the injection of water into the tank;
[0175] Step 606: If the water level in the tank reaches the third water level, control the heating device to work;
[0176] Step 608: Obtain the temperature of the heated water vapor by using a sterilization temperature acquisition device installed on the mist outlet channel of the humidifier;
[0177] Step 610: If the temperature of the water vapor exceeds the temperature threshold, start timing the sterilization time; otherwise, return to step 606 and continue to control the heating device to work.
[0178] Step 612: If the sterilization time reaches the preset sterilization time, turn off the heating device and connect the water tank to the outside through the mist outlet valve of the humidifier. Otherwise, return to step 606 and continue to control the heating device to work.
[0179] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.
[0180] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a humidifier control device for implementing the humidifier control method described above. The solution provided by this device is similar to the solution described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations in one or more humidifier control device embodiments provided below can be found in the limitations of the humidifier control method described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0181] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, a humidifier control device is provided. In the humidifier to which this device is applied, a sealed space is formed between the atomizing fin and the atomizing plate. The device includes: a first temperature acquisition module 702, an operating state maintenance module 704, a second temperature acquisition module 706, and a water injection control module 708, wherein:
[0182] The first temperature acquisition module is used to acquire the first temperature of the atomizing plate in the working state by means of the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device set in the sealed space when the water level in the water tank of the humidifier reaches the first water level in the humidification mode.
[0183] The working state maintenance module is used to keep the atomizing plate in working state when the first temperature is within the first temperature range;
[0184] The second temperature acquisition module is used to acquire the second temperature of the atomizing sheet through the atomizing sheet temperature acquisition device when the water level drops from the first water level to the second water level.
[0185] The water injection control module is used to keep the atomizing plate in working state and control the injection of water into the water tank to the first water level when the second temperature is in the second temperature range.
[0186] The aforementioned humidifier control device utilizes a sealed space formed between the atomizing plate and the atomizing element in the humidifier. In humidification mode, when the water level in the humidifier's water tank reaches the first water level, the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device, located within the sealed space, accurately acquires the first temperature of the atomizing plate during operation. Based on this first temperature, it determines whether the atomizing plate has successfully dissipated heat and is at its normal operating temperature. If the first temperature is within the first temperature range, the atomizing plate remains in operation. When the water level drops from the first to the second water level, the atomizing plate temperature acquisition device also accurately acquires the second temperature of the atomizing plate. Based on this accurate second temperature, it determines whether the atomizing plate has successfully dissipated heat and is at its normal operating temperature. If the second temperature is within the second temperature range, the atomizing plate remains in operation, and water is added to the water tank up to the first water level. Thus, by accurately determining that the atomizing plate has successfully dissipated heat and is at its normal operating temperature, the device controls the atomizing plate in the humidifier to continue operating in humidification mode.
[0187] In one embodiment, the humidifier control device further includes a water filling timer module, which is used to time the total water filling time during the process of controlling the water filling from the water tank into the water tank. If the total water filling time exceeds the water filling time threshold, an early warning prompt is issued that the water tank is low on water. The water filling time threshold is positively correlated with the maximum water storage capacity of the water tank.
[0188] In one embodiment, the humidifier control device further includes an accumulation counting module, which is used to time the running time of the atomizing plate each time the water level drops from the first water level to the second water level. If the running time exceeds the running time threshold, the count is accumulated once to obtain the accumulation count result. If the accumulation count result reaches the counting result threshold, an early warning prompt of water tank shortage is issued.
[0189] In one embodiment, the humidifier control device further includes a runtime threshold determination module, which is used to collect the water level drop time required for the water level to drop from the first water level to the second water level during the operation of the atomizing plate in the minimum power mode, and take the longest water level drop time as the runtime threshold.
[0190] In one embodiment, the humidifier control device further includes a temperature range determination module. The temperature range determination module is used to obtain a first maximum temperature value when the atomizing plate reaches a first water level and a second maximum temperature value when it reaches a second water level in the maximum power mode, obtain a first minimum temperature value when the atomizing plate reaches a first water level and a second minimum temperature value when it reaches a second water level in the minimum power mode, determine a first temperature range based on the first maximum temperature value and the first minimum temperature value, and determine a second temperature range based on the second maximum temperature value and the second minimum temperature value.
[0191] In one embodiment, the humidifier control device further includes a water control valve opening module, which is used to control the water control valve of the humidifier to open in humidification mode so that the first space in the water tank of the humidifier is connected to the second space. The water tank is connected to the outside through the mist outlet valve of the humidifier. Under the atomization effect of the atomizing plate, the water mist generated in the second space enters the outside from the water tank.
[0192] In one embodiment, the humidifier control device further includes a water control valve closing module, which is used to control the water control valve of the humidifier to close in sterilization mode, so as to isolate the first space and the second space in the water tank of the humidifier. When the water level in the water tank reaches the third water level, the heating device is activated to heat the water in the first space, wherein the third water level is lower than the second water level.
[0193] In one embodiment, the humidifier control device further includes a mist outlet valve opening module, which controls the connection between the water tank and the water container through the mist outlet valve of the humidifier, so that water vapor generated in the first space under the heating action of the heating device enters the water container from the water tank.
[0194] In one embodiment, the humidifier control device further includes a sterilization timing module. The sterilization timing module is used to obtain the temperature of the heated water vapor through a sterilization temperature acquisition device installed on the mist outlet channel of the humidifier. When the temperature of the water vapor exceeds the temperature threshold, the sterilization time is timed. When the sterilization time reaches the preset sterilization time, the heating device is turned off, and the water tank is connected to the outside through the mist outlet valve of the humidifier so that water vapor can enter the outside from the water tank.
[0195] Each module in the aforementioned humidifier control device can be implemented entirely or partially through software, hardware, or a combination thereof. These modules can be embedded in or independent of the processor in a computer device, or stored in the computer device's memory as software, so that the processor can call and execute the corresponding operations of each module.
